Thanks to all of you who had so much fun answering
my previous stupid newbie question about bit masks.

Now, I am faced with another such question that is
undoubtedly "newbie" as well.

Does anyone have efficient code that will simply
COMPARE two 16-bit SIGNED integers without too
much temporary register usage?

Is there anywhere I can look for the answers to
these kinds of questions so that I don't have to
waste precious LISTSERV bandwidth?  There must
be some kind of compendium of all of these bit
banging tricks and routine math operations somewhere.
